WashiGang Journal

No one should be surprised by the popularity of gel pens in the writing and craft community. Crisp lines and vibrant colours are appreciated by students, professionals, crafters and journalers who use them. However, choosing the best gel pen for everyone isn't an easy task: some prefer pastel colours, while others demand the finest tips. Use our handy guide below to find the best gel pens for all of your needs, whether you use one for daily note-taking, art or journaling.

Do you journal and did you know that journaling can be good for your mental well being?

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month! This month at WashiGang, we are thinking about our mental health and well being in our everyday lives. It affects how we think, feel, and act and determines how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices.

Hi WashiGang Crew!

It's a new month and we have lots of fun things planned for you, from new blogs with tips & tricks, our latest stationery goodies in the shop and a free stationery download pack available on the website! You can also read more to find out how to get a washi tape this month with your order!

Here at WashiGang, it's hard to be a minimalist! Especially for our staff who love stationery so much!! There's just not enough room for all the books and stationery that we need in our lives. Are some of you in the same boat?

With more and more of us in the world working from home, there is no better time to get organised! So, let's pull up our sleeves and organise our desks to keep ourselves focused, productive and from feeling overwhelmed. We can do it together!!!

With Mother's Day just around the corner, we thought it might be the perfect time to start your gift shopping. If you have a Mother in your life, are a Mother yourself or are a stationery Mother (there are so many of us, caring for our stationery babies), we have the perfect gift guide for you!

f you're keen to get started with Memory Keeping, we have some great tips on what you need to memory keep, how to use a planner in different ways to keep your memories and how to use a Memory Keeper.

This month we have so many great new products in the shop, new washi tapes for the month are here and you'll also find a new free download pack! Stay tuned on the blog this month for a guest blog from Pages by KC, a Mother's Day gift guide and lots of other goodies, too!

With Autumn just around the corner, we thought it would be a fun idea to find some of our favourite Autumn themed stationery in the warehouse. I asked everyone at WashiGang today to pick their favourite's as well as picking my own faves! We're all really enjoying the change of season and it's also a great excuse to try out a new theme when creating your planner and journal spreads!

We thought we'd do a little research into sleep journaling and sleep tracking, to find out if there are any tips on getting a better night’s sleep. Plus, we love journaling and we love sleep, so why not put them together? 

Do you ever have trouble falling asleep, have racing thoughts or have trouble winding down from your day? Journaling before bed significantly decreases distractions, overthinking and worrying, which allows you to fall asleep faster.
